Thousands of Indian and international visitors flock to Agra every year to see the magnificent Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal does not disappoint. Its glistening white marble and perfectly balanced architecture continues to captivate on first, second and countless visits. However, the Taj Mahal is not the sole attraction of Agra. The capital of the Mughal Empire once ruled much of modern day India and Pakistan and is brimming with impressive tombs, bustling markets and manicured gardens. The Taj Mahal has made this city one of the top tourist destinations in the world, but intrepid travellers will find that many of Agra’s less well known sites are real gems for experiencing Indian culture and history.
